If Napoleon & Pollock Designed a Web Site
The Strategy & Art of Building Web Sites

Building a successful web site requires asking and answering the right questions at the start, and skillfully creating a user experience with a purpose.

Napoleon meticulously planned every detail of a campaign to effectively win battles before they began. Jackson Pollock maintained a personal connection to his paintings throughout their creation in order to bring out the individual life of each.

Carolyn Bligh will share before and after case studies, and the do's and don'ts that will help you plan and design an effective web site. These tips will also sharpen your marketing skills.
